PLAYER OF THE GAME ☘️

A huge performance from Anton Salminen, who only started playing rugby in March and today scored his first TWO tries for the Shamrocks! 🏉🏉

Anton was named Player of the Game and had the honour of sharing the award with Finnish rugby legend Mauno Konttila from Jyväskylä.

What a day for Anton. Well deserved! ☘️💚

BIG WIN AT HAMARI ☘️💚

A great game of rugby in hot conditions saw the Shamrocks grab an important 79–26 win over Jyväskylä Rugby Club.

The boys played hard from the start, and despite JRC getting points on the board, OTS were on the front foot today and kept the pressure on throughout the game.

The win moves the Shamrocks into third place heading into the final round of the regular season.

Next up is a huge one as we face league leaders Helsinki Rugby Club at home.

BIG WIN AT HAMARI!☘️🏉

OTS take an important 36–26 win over Turku Eagles!

Turku came out strong and were first on the scoreboard. The Shamrocks fought hard but struggled to keep possession, and Eagles went into halftime leading 14–7.

The second half saw much better structure from OTS, with more of the game played in the Turku half. Both teams continued to put points on the board, but this time the Shamrocks found another gear and turned the game around to secure the win.

Final score: OTS 36–26 Turku Eagles

The two final rounds of the championship will be extremely close in the battle for a semi final spot💚
